Dear Ms. Higgins:
After further conversation with Ms. Jennifer Burdette of your office, it has been determined only one of
our resulting Two (2) buffer crossings will require mitigation. We have revised the calculation table for
mitigation and the updated information is now reflected on the Revised Pre -Construction Notification
Application. Please find attached for your review and approval Four (4) copies of that form.
We have already contacted the representatives of both EBX Neuse 1, LLC and Greene Environmental
Services, LLC for their approvals to purchase credits for buffer mitigation. Greene has a limited number of
credits available so we will likely need to purchase a combination of credits from both of those and will forward
those letters to your office once received. Should you have any questions or require additional information,
please do not hesitate to call.
Respectfull ,
